Many schools these days require group projects.

I can't remember if I was challenged that way.
I do remember that I chose (or they chose me) sports that weren't team active such as baseball or football.
Mine were swimming & table tennis.
Side note in college I excelled
at air hockey.
My nervous laugh when I scored a point or won, made my friend nervous for my safety.

I'm extraordinary when it comes to English, and aced all of my English classes as well as took several college level courses in high school. My English credits were the first ones I knocked out when I went to college because they were so easy for me. However... I barely scraped by with a C- in my algebra in high school and failed entirely in geometry. I tried retaking high school level pre-al in college and failed twice. For no credits. With a tutor. I can barely count to four without help. Even my friends who said they hated math were mystified when I told them of my harrowing, dramatic adventures back and forth from math classes.

As the others said, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. I swear I'd be totally lost if it weren't for the glory of calculators and Google.

I smile remembering that I took calculus back in 1970.
The only thing I remember is how to say the word.
I don't even know how to use a scientific calculator.
I do know I liked the exactness of formulas.
To bad social skills weren't as easy. These days my brain try's to create them as I watch myself interact with people.
